As most will know as from last month, shops were suppose to stop selling the good old fashioned light bulb and only sell the new low energy bulbs but did you know that if you have dimmer switches in your home these bulbs are not compatible with them, now before you panic, they are making low energy dimmable light bulbs, the only problem is the are between £7 and £9 EACH!

Also you can not throw low energy light bulbs in the bin when they blow. You have to take them to council tip as they contain carcinogens

If only we realised this years ago when we were blissfully breaking up flurescent tubes to go into the dustbin when they`re made in virtually the same way. I believe the carcinogen could be mercury?

Unfortunately I have just moved into a rented flat and am not allowed to change any of the light fittings or switches

You get more light from candles! I use the halogen ones... I'm presuming they won't be banned?!

Government has banned old style light bulbs as britain has to reduce its carbon footprint and this is one way of doing it. And halagon ones are ok at moment, but watch this space
